Every volume of this Saga is amazing. Kazuya Minekura's art is absolutely fantastic and very unique, and she has a way of writing that sets her apart from other mangaka. If your're looking at volume 3, you already know what the story is about (if not, go check it out and I PROMISE you wont be sorry), so I just want to say it does in fact just keep getting better. In this one, we find out a little more about Tokito's past, but not too much (Minekura-sensei is such a tease). It does continue to portray the complex, unique nature of their relationship, as well as dives headfirst into the messy topic of religion and "god," as she likes to do. It's gritty, it's compelling, it's intelligent, and it's still fun. I love this series, and I think anyone else would too, especially if you like any other other work.

If you do like this series, I recommend Saiyuki, if you haven't read it already. I know it was pretty mainstream, but the manga is absolutely amazing, especially if you take initiative and go on to read Saiyuki Gaiden- a prequel from 500 years ago. I also recommend you do some digging and find her other stuff, because it's all wonderful. Even her short one-shots are amazing.

I ordered this manga in Japanese on accident (I can't read Japanese) and just decided it wasn't worth the hassle to send it back. I can say that the customer service was excellent, though. I was updated every few days on the status of my order, and if I could read Japanese I would buy more from this seller.
